Join GÉANT 2026 cybersecurity awareness campaign

Simple security habits can make a big difference. GÉANT invites the R&E community to get involved in the 2026 cybersecurity awareness campaign “Small Habits. Big Impact”.

This year’s campaign focuses particularly on device security and the everyday behaviours that help keep devices and the information they contain secure. Topics covered include software updates and patching, trusted applications, working securely while travelling, removable media, insecure public Wi-Fi, malicious or fake applications and the use of shadow AI.

The campaign will run until mid-December 2026, with GÉANT sharing practical content and resources focused on securing devices and building better security habits. The campaign materials are designed to be used and shared across the R&E community. NRENs, universities, research organisations and other community members are encouraged to make the campaign their own, by using the materials with colleagues and users, and localise their messages.

You can use the campaign to:

raise awareness among staff, students and researchers;
support your organisation’s existing cybersecurity and awareness activities;
share practical security advice through your internal communications channels;
use campaign visuals and messages in presentations, newsletters and social media;
encourage colleagues to think about the small actions that become part of their everyday routines;
connect your own awareness activities with a wider campaign across the international R&E community.
